Back in the day, when I restored my KL welding lorry, I picked up a pair of those green reflectors from Brian Asbury for the princely sum of about $20 each. To a guy with a baby and a mortgage living on the early 1990s frozen Corporal's salary, that was a princely sum. So you can imagine my horror when I noticed one day that that one of them had been smashed by a stone. By that point they had become a lot harder to find, but I did replace that reflector. After that, I was a lot more cautious but really, what could you do?

I think that if I were to do it over again, I would have canvas bumper end covers made up which would be removed once the truck made it to it's show.
